Good morning, i need some knowledge as to why i had a spike in ammonia. I am currently cycling my tank, i have no fish at this point, only snails. Everything was looking good on Thursday, 3-31-22, and then yesterday 4-3-22, i noticed my snails not moving. I tested my ammonia and the level was around 3.5. I've tested it multiple times during my cycle, and it had dropped to almost 0 for the last 10 days. I have not added anything to the tank since the snails almost 2 weeks ago. Any ideas on what would cause a spike like this, especially since there was no food source added?

The Red Sea Reef Mature has an ammonia source additive. That’s how your tank cycles is from exposure to it. The Bacto Start is what simulates natural waste.
